Giants' Malik Nabers Says Rehab on Track, Won't Promise Week 1 Return

His timeline hinges on functional readiness rather than the calendar.

Overview

  • Speaking at locker clean-out Monday, the 22-year-old said he will play only if his body feels right.
  • He was seen with a knee brace and a cane during media availability, indicating he is still progressing through rehab.
  • He suffered a season-ending injury in Week 4 of 2025 against the Chargers and underwent ACL and meniscus surgery on Oct. 28.
  • Coverage lists a partially torn labrum and turf toe among the diagnoses, with those issues reported as healed without surgery.
  • He expressed optimism about working with quarterback Jaxson Dart after combining for 13 receptions, 200 yards and two touchdowns in three games before the injury.
